Wehave traveled to Charlestown, RI for one of the best roots festivals in the country, and as Saturday morning turns into afternoon, we are enjoying the sunshine and a set from Southern Florida's Nouveaux Honkies. We have been on site recording and streaming performances for the last few years, and every year there are bands that we hear for the first time and many that we happily meet up with again. Rebecca Dawkins from Nouveaux Honkies and Tania Elizabeth from the Duhks, both great fiddle players in their respective bands, were chatting backstage and they gave us a smile.

There is a full slate of performances today and tomorrow and we are here to capture the music. Tonight (Saturday) we'll feature Asleep At The Wheel and Hot Tuna live! Listen at 7:30 for the live performances and all weekend long at www.mvyradio.com and 92.7 and 96.5 mvyradio.

Why Famous Blue Blog?

"...You're living for nothing now. I hope you're keeping some kind of record."

Famous Blue Raincoat by Leonard Cohen

When I first heard Famous Blue Raincoat, the song that Leonard Cohen wrote in the form of a letter to his friend/rival/"brother"/"killer", I was there with him at his writing desk in New York at "4 in the morning", hanging on every word, every note. This kind of response to songs and the artists that write them, has repeated itself thousands of times in my life in music and this is what my Famous Blue Blog explores.
